about us

﻿﻿﻿UNICEF SFU has joined a nation-wide initiative of university and college students, focused on advocating and educating others of the perils that millions of children face throughout the developing world. By hosting several fundraising events throughout the SFU campuses and in the community, our club is also devoted to raising funds to help UNICEF Canada complete their mission of improving the lives of children in 156 different countries. UNICEF SFU welcomes all SFU students to join.﻿﻿﻿
